Make My Date a Double!

On Friday night, my friend Nathan and his girlfriend Andi invited us to join them for dinner at their favorite restaurant. Of course, Chris and I jumped at the chance.

Here’s the thing. Chris and I eat dinner together every single night. We often hit up the same restaurants where the wait staff bring us our drinks before we even have to ask. You could say we’re creatures of habit. So whenever friends invite us out to double, we do a little happy dance.

Here are the adorable Nathan and Andi. We didn’t get a picture of the four of us because our server couldn’t work our new camera. I could feel Chris tensing up as she manhandled his pricy lens.

It’s fun to mix things up every now and then, isn’t it? And for the most part, we adore each other’s friends. And it’s such a ball dishing about your double date afterwards. Here is a sampling of our conversation on the ride home.

Me: Andi is so cute. They’re a good fit, aren’t they?

Chris: Yeah. Oh, hey, did Nathan say they might move in together soon?

Me: OMG, I was nudging you under the table hoping you caught that. Crazy, right? But hooray for them!

What do you think about double dates? Fun? Too much pressure? Do you have a “favorite couple” among your friends? Do you double date with your friends or his friends more often? Do you have any funny stories of double dates gone hilariously wrong? And do you and your guy chit chat about your double dates on the way home?
